I’d been running an ancient 2.1.something version of WP, too lazy to upgrade, but since P got re-infected with that stupid script (I hadn’t…yet), I thought upgrading to the latest version would at least be harmless, and might help keep me from getting infected again. I don’t remember the last time I’d upgraded because it […]
I got my Charter email address early in 2001, I think. Since cable broadband was still relatively new here back then, I had no problem getting my initials and surname as an address even though my surname is roughly as common as dirt. A few years later, I started getting mail addressed to Leonard and/or […]
Actually, I’m not so sure that this is “desperate” so much as it is funny, brilliant advertising and even a little scary. Holy shit, I was surprised to see Andy Griffith still alive. Hell, he doesn’t look too much different from the way he did in Matlock. Light Richie and the Fonz a little differently, […]
Damn, script kiddies are getting lazier every year! Finally finished the laundry and ironing, and had a few minutes before the starving masses needed to be fed, so I thought I’d download copies of my blog files so I’d have them to search for that stupid script. It took P. hours to do his phpBB, […]
1. Where there is a thoughtful, considerate man who loves his grandma, there is a way, even if the software doesn’t co-operate. Awwww! 2. “E de ting”. Ded of teh cute. Awwww! 3. “Giant millworms?” “Mealworms?” (confusion arose from “mealworms” spoken by a woman from rural south-central IL). They’re superworms, of course, but that’s not […]
Goodbye. I put up with YaST because it was a little faster this time, though still slower than Synaptic. I put up with no CLI to install software because…okay, because I’m lazy and couldn’t be arsed to install something else. Now, for no good reason, you fucked up my keyboard so badly I can’t even […]
Save me from utterly clueless “techs” who make you sit there for twenty minutes while they “check the problem”, then return to tell you that “add-content-block.net is working fine.” WELL FOR CHRIST’S SAKE, I KNOW THAT MUCH! WHY, EXACTLY, DO YOU THINK I CONTACTED YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE? P’s message board got hacked; he […]
IF YOU TYPE EVERYTHING IN CAPS SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU’RE SCREAMING AT ME, I’M ACTUALLY LESS LIKELY TO READ YOUR POST AND HELP YOU WITH YOUR SICK FISH. I’M NOT BLIND, AND IT’S HARD TO READ WHEN YOU TYPE LIKE THAT. IF YOU WANT HELP, TONE IT THE FUCK DOWN. Oh, and illiterate people […]
What I was supposed to be doing: getting dressed, feeding the starving masses, starting the laundry, cleaning the catastrofuck…I mean…the house. What I was actually doing: giving a photo of J.’s beloved childhood dollhouse (now passed on to her daughter), a bit of a “facelift”. Grandma looked okay in her rocker, but I thought she […]
Okay, no I don’t, exactly, but why the hell they had to give display options to people who oughtn’t have them, I don’t know. The default is three small photos across the page, and sets/groups/whatever (I forget) to one side of the page. I turned off the sets/groups/whatever because I don’t like the clutter, but […]
